What are pages?

A page is like a single sheet in a big book, you flip through them to read a story.

Imagine you have a favorite picture book. Each time you turn a page, you see the next part of the story. That’s just like how computers use pages to show information. Instead of one huge book, your computer has many little “books” called pages, and it flips through them so you can read or watch things on the screen.

How Pages Work

Think of your computer as a very fast librarian. Every time you open an app or click on something, the librarian grabs the right page from a big shelf, and poof, that’s what shows up on your screen.

Sometimes there are so many pages, the librarian needs to organize them into groups called files, like how your toys are in different boxes. But each page is still just one little piece of all that information.

When you're done with a page, the librarian puts it back on the shelf, ready for next time! A page is like a single sheet in a big book, you flip through them to read a story.
